Fragments towards an aesthetics of frailty

pierre reverdy: journals & prose

His poetry is without doubt, and justifiably, considered some of the greatest of the 20th century, but less well-known are Pierre Reverdy’s prose writings, which include essays on art and literature, as well as aphoristic journals reflecting on these and other subjects. In an attempt, however meagre, to address this imbalance I have created a new blog dedicated to my ongoing side project of translating Reverdy’s essays and aphorisms.
